Chronology
Released March 2012
Replaced Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III
Successor Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, Canon EOS-1D C

The Canon EOS-1D X is a professional digital SLR camera body by Canon Inc. It succeeded the company's previous flagship Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III and the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. It was announced on 18 October 2011.

It was released in March 2012 with a suggested retail price of US$6,799.00 (body only) and a suggested retail price of £5,299 in the United Kingdom.

The camera is supplemented by the Canon EOS-1D C, a movie-oriented camera that shares most of its still photographic features with the 1D X. The 1D C was announced in April 2012 and released in March 2013.

In CES (January) 2014, Canon released firmware version 2.0.3 with significant improvements:

As of 2015, it has the third highest camera sensor rating of any Canon camera on DxO Labs at 82, and the 39th highest camera sensor rating overall.

On February 1 2016, it was announced that the camera would be replaced by the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.

The Canon EOS-1D X is an 18.1 effective megapixels full-frame DSLR. The camera is capable of acquiring video at HD resolution (1,920 × 1,080 pixels) at frame rates of 24, 25 and 30 fps or 720p (1,280 × 720) at 50 or 60 fps, and SDTV (640 × 480) at 25 or 30 fps. The h.264 video can be switched between all inter frame and IPB with bidirectional prediction to reduce file size. The EOS-1D X has two DIGIC 5+ image processors for sensor reading and compression, and a separate DIGIC 4 dedicated to automatic exposure. It was officially released on 20 June 2012. Like the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon EOS-1D C, the camera features 61 autofocus points, which are assisted by a 100,000-pixel metering sensor.
